If you enjoy southeast Asian (Singaporean/Malaysian) food, I highly recommend you to try this Filipino restaurant. Filipino cuisine shares a resemblance with the other Southeast Asian countries, with their frequent use of shrimp paste, and citrus fruit. Most of the dishes are salty, and full of flavours, while not too spicy for me(and most east Asians I believe).
I believe they rotate their dishes everyday. Very good selection if you come in around noon. Usually they always have pork and chicken dishes. Their Facebook page post the menu at 11am every day.
The two dishes combo is very affordable (12.99) and has good portion size with lots of protein if you order it, it even comes with a drink. There are plenty of sitting areas in the restaurant. Their machine won't ask for tip, which is a good thing.
I've tried more than 10 dishes and loved all of them. Their curry chicken tastes like the cafeteria I used to eat in Hong Kong daily. Their sisig is impressive and very satisfying. The pork BBQ skewer is salty, juicy and has a hint of charcoal(smoked). And dipped in vinegar they give me, it's very lovely experience. If you like Japanese pork BBQ skewer, I bet you should love theirs as well.
I'm glad the restaurant did not change the dishes just to fit the north American palate. I love the diverse and sometimes bold flavours in the Filipino food. And I love pork/chicken with bones.
For dessert, the chocolate marshmallow cupcake is not too sweet, which fits Asian taste bud perfectly. The sago & jackfruit in coconut milk is smooth and amazing too. The Ube cheese Pandesal is a delicious ube bread with cheese fillings, not too sweet and suits Asian taste.
Halo halo is available only in summer and is very refreshing and healthy too (delicious ube and red beans)!
Parking is always available when coming after 2pm, and not too hard to park. It's very close to Cineplex.

Been here 6-7 times now, its my first experience with Filipino cuisine but everything I've had has been amazingly good and fairly priced. I highly recommend the dinuguan (pork blood stew)

Bangin flavours, great price! It had 16 seats inside. I got a plate of chicken and noodles with a bag of buns to go for $17! Great price these days and such good quality food compared to 99% of fast food out there. Incredible!

Great Filipino food, but guys, stop closing at 6pm when it's supper time. Business may be slow, but consistency will get you more customers. Also you should offer the Filipino BBQ daily AT SUPPER TIME.
Due to the early closing hours and constantly missing BBQ, I can only give you guys 3 stars.
Great place otherwise, definitely check it out.
Parking: Parking is free after 5.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible, there's a staircase, you guys need a ramp.

Very nice staff and make they make BEST Kare-Kare! ?
First time trying and not quite sure what I was ordering. All I knew was one was pork and one was beef. They were both very tasty. They were as hot as I liked, but nothing a minute in the microwave cannot fix. Only wish it was filled with more rice so I can soak up all the yummy sauce.

Best halo halo I’ve ever had. Hands down.

Clean environment. They serve authentic Filipino dishes and desert like the popular one in the Philippines "halo-halo", bananacue like a whole banana in a skewer smothered with brown sugar and deep fry. A lot of variety. If you craving of some Filipino dishes and you don't want to cook or your the only one eating it at home like me this is the best place to go...Staff are so friendly. They have extra parking spot now in the back of the store. You can dine in or take out.
Kid-friendliness: They have a patio outside on the summer that everyone can enjoy weather specially kids.

Worlds smallest spring rolls. I haven't been this dissatisfied in my life. $10 for 10 spring rolls? Sounds like a deal right? You'll be going for 10 more after having these bite size snacks. As in 10 more bites of regret. My hands are not big. These things are just puny. Would not recommend!!
